Chapter 307 Papermaking and Printing

Although Zhang Xiu did not tell Jia Xu and Fa Qing their own solution, Zhang Xiu listened to Fa Qing's opinion.

The recruitment hall is allowed to accommodate [poor families] and [famous families]. All talented people, regardless of their origin, will be included in the recruitment hall.

Then, based on the assessment, select outstanding people to enter the Shangshutai as an official.

Zhang Xiu took [Shangshutai] as the center and installed a large number of party members and confidants who came out of the Recruitment Hall within, and the power and prestige were at its peak in the continuous rise.

However, with the entry of the children of the [famous family], some situations also arise.

Of course, there are many poor families in the world. However, the quality is not as good as that of the famous children who received the best education since childhood.

During the assessment, famous families often have the advantage.

If these famous children enter too many, then some old problems will arise. The relationship will be mixed and the relationship will be formed for personal gain.

Increasing the number of scholars in the world and "defeating" famous elites with a huge number of poor families has become the only solution.

And Zhang Xiu's solution is simple.

It is to create papermaking and printing.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, papermaking was a long time ago. It was created by the eunuch Cai Lun. However, [Cai Lun Paper] did not replace cloth, and bamboo slips became the carrier of knowledge.

Because Cai Lun's paper is very thin and the paper is ordinary. If you write it more heavily, the pen and ink will emerge from the other side.

Under such circumstances, cloth and bamboo slips cannot be replaced.

Without good paper, of course there is no printing technology.

The reason why there are not many scholars in the world is that bamboo slips are too expensive and knowledge is in the hands of aristocratic families and cannot be spread throughout the world.

With papermaking and printing, you can sweep the world.

On that morning, the sun was shining brightly, but it was cold and cold. Zhang Xiu asked Dian Wei to prepare a carriage, and surrounded by guards, he came outside a workshop managed by the Minister of Works.

"Ming Gong." Outside the gate, Wang Ding, the Minister of Works, who had been waiting for a long time, respectfully saluted Zhang Xiu.

"Shangshu Wang." Zhang Xiu gave Wang Ding face. Wang Ding and his son were originally businessmen. They followed him for many years, worked diligently and were also confidants.

After re-establishing the title of Shangshu, he arranged for Wang Ding as Shangshu. It was not a big deal. Now the Shangshutai has a strong power, but its rank is not high.

Besides, no one can say what Zhang Xiu uses, and he dare not say it

Wang Ding was a businessman, and when he jumped into the core of the Shangshu Desk, he was naturally grateful and diligent.

After seeing him at the door, Zhang Xiu, accompanied by Wang Ding and under the escort of Dian Wei, visited the papermaking workshop and couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

He had fantasized about it in his previous life. Of course, he had prepared a lot. He was familiar with papermaking and was familiar with it.

I couldn't do it before, but now after taking over the power, I have forgotten it a little. The matter of the recruitment hall has made him remember it.

Of course, the technology in his own hands needs to be used by himself and completely controlled by himself. If he had taken it out before, it would have been taken away by Dong Zhuo.

Papermaking and printing are deep-water bombs that can impact the world.

It can change the aristocratic families in one fell swoop and gain the power of knowledge.

It is extremely beneficial to the ruler.

After visiting the papermaking workshop, Zhang Xiu came to a room. Wang Ding presented a piece of white paper, which was very thick and as white as snow.

Zhang Xiu asked Wang Ding to take the pen and ink again and wrote down a line of not ugly fonts. Then he repeatedly looked at both sides of the paper, and Zhang Xiu smiled with satisfaction.

Wang Ding, who was next to him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Xiu laughing. He quickly flattered and said, "Ming Gong. Once this thing is released, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources from the court, which is a great merit."

Zhang Xiu looked at him and smiled. Wang Ding was a little nervous and dared not say anything. Soon after, Zhang Xiu asked Wang Ding to take the booklets he made.

It was a blue cover [Sun Tzu's Art of War]. Zhang Xiu took out a copy and read it for a few times, and couldn't help but feel more satisfied.

Sun Tzu's Art of War was already well-versed. But he usually looked at the bamboo slips, but he didn't say it expensive or heavy, and he also hurt his eyes.

After this changed from [bamboo slips] to [bookbook], it became much more comfortable to watch.

"Okay. Wang Shangshu is really a great achievement. Keep this matter confidential first. I will present it to the emperor until the first year of Jian'an."

Zhang Xiu put down Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand, looked up and said to Wang Ding.

"No." Wang Ding replied.

Not long after, Zhang Xiu left the workshop and, under Wang Ding's respectful sent, returned to the Grand Sima Mansion.

New Year and new atmosphere.

Next year is the first year of Jian'an. Although Zhang Xiu got a big treasure, he was holding his breath and said it until next year.

Time flies, like a flash of white horses passing by.

The first year of Jian'an was soon arrived.

The marriage between Zhang Xiu and Cai Yan will take a long time, so let it go first. As Zhang Xiu enters Luoyang, his dominance becomes more and more stable.

This terrible dominance made the ghosts and monsters automatically hide and even disappear.

Luoyang, the imperial court, was so quiet that it could only hear Zhang Xiu's voice. It was so terrible.

It is said that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Starting from the first day of the first year of Jian'an, heavy snow fell for five consecutive days, which made the entire Luoyang city covered with a thick layer of quilt.

The responsible personnel had to work hard to clean the streets.

On the fifth day of the dynasty, it was still dawn. Zhang Xiu and all civil and military officials entered the palace. After waiting for a while in the corridor outside the Deyang Hall, eunuchs came out and Xuan officials entered.

Zhang Xiu is the first-class person in the world and is in charge of the government. Naturally, he walked in without permission. However, in front of Deyang Hall, Zhang Xiu untied his sword and took off his boots.

Originally, the Han Dynasty had a privilege of [swords and shoes entering the hall], but Zhang Xiu had not yet prepared this privilege for himself.

The court ruled by Zhang Xiu was of course a pool of stagnant water. After entering the Deyang Hall to sit down, Emperor Liu Xie, with the support of eunuchs, entered the imperial throne in the Deyang Hall to sit down.

After a regular morning court, nothing happened. Morning court is a formality, and no important things are mentioned here.

The important thing is that Zhang Xiu (Jia Xu), Xi Zhicai, and Chen Gong, the three people who have the power to [Record the Shangshushi] handled it.

He said nothing, all officials and Liu Xie looked at Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was not Dong Zhuo, and he would not show off his airs. He smiled and said, "Everyone. I recently got auspiciousness. This time it was the first major dynasty meeting in the first year of Jian'an, so I presented this auspiciousness to the emperor and benefit the whole world."

After hearing this, everyone was in a fog.

Everyone has seen a lot of things like auspiciousness. Some people say that seeing a dragon on the mountain is auspiciousness.

There is a white deer in the forest, which is also auspicious.

This well dug out an ancient seal with good words, which is also auspicious.

But since auspiciousness is to be presented to the emperor, how can we bless the world?

Moreover, Zhang Xiu is not a person with false reputation, so he should not do such a thing.

Chen Gong, who was in the morning court, looked at each other, and was extremely confused. He was even said to be the court officials.

Everyone didn't wonder how long it took.

After "asking for instructions" to the emperor, Zhang Xiu asked an eunuch to bring his own things, a book that was placed in an exquisite plate.

Zhang Xiu took off the book under the puzzled eyes of everyone. He walked forward in person, bent down and presented it to Emperor Liu Xie.

Then he returned to his seat and sat down.

"This is?!!!!" Liu Xie was still a teenager. He first looked through the book in confusion, and then his face immediately changed.

He could not detect the influence of it, but felt that this thing was really good.

His usual reading not only makes his arms ache, but his eyes are also sore. This book is both thin and neat, which really helps a lot.

Liu Xie showed a little smile on his face and asked Zhang Xiu quickly: "Sima. This thing is indeed auspicious. Can it be re-engraved?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded slightly and bowed.

"It's so good. This thing should be appreciated by all the lords." Liu Xie smiled even more and then handed the letter to a young eunuch on the left.

The eunuch knew it and immediately handed the book over to the second person in the dynasty, the Grand Marshal Cai Yong, and then the Three Dukes, Nine Ministers, and all the civil and military officials who participated in the morning dynasty, who had read the book.

Suddenly, there was a hustle and bustle in the Deyang Palace. The sound of discussion was like millions of flies hovering in the air, messy.

"Silent." Zhang Xiu turned black and shouted loudly. Then he turned to look at the chief censor Chen Gong and said, "Where is the censor in the palace? Record the officials who have lost their manners and punished them immediately after the morning court."

"promise."

A young censor immediately stood up and responded to the promise. Then he looked at the many court officials with a fierce look. When the court officials heard this, they immediately became solemn.

But they were still excited.

What Liu Xie could think of was all the court officials. This "auspicious" was both frivolous and clear, and for them, it was also wonderful.

Not to mention that this thing can be copied and produced continuously. This is a killer weapon that can change the world's pattern.

In the future, the scope of knowledge dissemination will become wider and easier to obtain. In the end, the number of poor scholars will expand to a terrible level.

The number of children from famous families will be weakened.

The fundamental nature of power has changed. Under the impact of this "auspicious" situation, how many years can the noble clans still hold power?

And how much prestige will Zhang Xiu gain from the government and the country? Zhang Xiu is worthy of being Zhang Xiu, and the path he takes is completely different from Dong Zhuo.

It’s really like a mountain of stability.

The court officials all looked at Zhang Xiu and thought to themselves.

"What a terrible Grand Sima."

This is the idea of ​​civil and military ministers not of Zhang Xiu, and all civil and military ministers of Zhang Xiu, are happy.

"As soon as this auspicious auspiciousness comes, the Grand Sima has virtue to the people of the world."

"The poor scholars later knew who created the book when they looked at it."

"Grand Sima, General Zhang Xiu."
